Thurs April 28

 This was a very tough day. Doc loses long time; dear friend Ron and Mark Roger is awaiting bypass surgery as I compose this edition. As Doc said this morning, every day is a blessing and let's appreciate those around us. Doc and Roger are in our thoughts today. I hope the following gives you a few minutes away from the more serious and important.

Bud's Boys, The Musical


Today's round started quite differently than usual, as Bob and Allen sang a little duet on the first tee. Now I myself didn't think it was half bad all things considered. However, when I tried to post it, I received a stern warning from Google that they have a minimum standard, and they proceeded in deleting it. Nonetheless, we have our theme for the day, Bud's Boys the musical. We will dedicate songs throughout the post. Let's get started.

Great news to have Rodney come out to play 9 holes, his first time playing with us since Feb 21. Playing partner Mikey thought he did very well, considering the long lay-off. First dedication to Rodney.

From 1976, John Sebastian with "Welcome Back", a TV theme song.


One line in the song, "We tease him a lot, because we got him on the spot, welcome back". Here's to many upcoming chances to tease Rodney.

Fourteen players in the game for 5-dollar Thursday (Course closed Friday). 


Next song is dedicated to the whole group.


From 1990, Friends in Low Places, Garth Brooks. No explanation necessary.

This was a rare day in that all 4 teams won at least one event. Josh's 3 birdies on the front (Rabbit) and Jeff's CTP gave their team 2 of the 5.

Andy's team takes front with +8. Next dedication is a little embarrassing. We have all misunderstood lyrics and would sing our own words only to discover the real lyrics years later. Next dedication from 1978, the Commodores "Three times a Lady".





I thought they were saying, "Once, Twice, Three Putts for Andy". My bad.

Leroy's team takes Total with the help of his birdie on 10. To Leroy, all the way back to 1965. Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, "A Taste of Honey".






Glen's amazing 21 points (4 birdies) on back 9 gives his team the last piece of the pot. He takes Medalist (+5) and points (37). Kudos to Butch, Jeff, Scott at +4. To Glen from 1964, Roger Miller, "Chug-a-Lug"



Special Dedication



Sunday May 1 will be our anniversary. Forty years ago, May 1, 1982, was on a Saturday.


Now that I think about it, we have been pretty much "together" since the day we met in the summer of 76.

I absolutely know what most of you are thinking. How in the world did he end up with her!
You have to remember the times. I did it the old-fashioned way, the way we did things in "our time".


I had a cool car.

This last dedication goes to my sweetie of 40 plus years. The Temptations, from 1965

St. Pat's Day Sunday 3/17

  Happy St Patrick's Day everyone. Today's edition has the final results from Thursday and Friday's rather small turnouts. But first, something new we are trying.  Many of you know today is the day the NCAA Tournament is revealed, and everyone starts filling out their brackets. Well, forget Kentucky and Kansas or Purdue or whoever! The real March Madness will take place at Kimbeland CC. Read on and fill out your bracket. The person who best predicts the outcome of all the matches will get some yet undetermined special prize, fitting the magnitude of such an event. Here are the participants and their region. In the Allen Hill Regional, Allen himself will square off with Randy. The winner will face the survivor of the Glen vs. KZ matchup. In the Andy McIntosh Regional, Doc and Jeff will meet, with the winner playing either Raymond or Leroy for the regional final. The Bud Marshall Regional has Scott and Roger facing off with the winner going up against the Bob vs. Tom match. T

Mother's Day 5/12

  Happy Mother's Day to everyone. I trust we are all treating the mothers in our lives like the queens they deserve to be treated. Hard to believe my own has been gone 41 years, but the 27 I lived with her are still as vivid as can be. Today might be Mother's Day, but Friday was certainly Mudder's Day. A seven-day layoff for BB's as our course was recovering from the deluge of constant rain. Though most of the course was okay, many swings today produced a spray of mud and water. The layoff combined with the conditions made plus golf a challenge. Tom's Medalist best +5 and Shelly's +3 were the only scores that moved their hcp# upward. No team finished plus in any of the FBT categories. Butch wins the CTP and Doc turns 2-pair in the Card Game to give their team 2 events today despite having the worst score of the 4 teams. Match Play Champion Crowned Also on Friday, the much-anticipated final of the first ever BB's Match Play Championship was completed. Clint a

Champion Golfer Full Coverage

Champion Golfer of the Year Raymond had to be on his game to win, as there were several great rounds turned in over the two days of play. Let's start at the beginning as we go step by step through the stages of the tournament. Thursday, Day 1 Twenty-four Bud's Boys teed off in hopes of taking home the big trophy. The weather was 40 degrees warmer than day 1 last year. The scores reflected the great conditions as half the field finished in the plus column. Butch leads at +7, 1-up on Raymond, Clint, and Floyd. Par 3 winners today #4 Westy #6 Butch #8 Tom #18 Bob Players compare scores post round Jeff predicts who will win on Friday Scoreboard Thursday Friday-Tournament Conclusion The group came out in patriotic red, white, and blue to support our Ryder Cup team (they needed considerably more than that it turned out). Front 9 Another great weather day and plenty of optimism as tee time neared. Several players scorched the Front 9 in an attempt to catch up. Hottest start to the rou
